I recall the traverse, across a field of very loose rubble. It was scary enough and I don't think anyone took pictures. Climbing up to Cabeza was also quite a trip. Going on that long hike without any of the proper gear was really stupid, but that was the era of being stupid and learning how to

Re: [Texascavers] Giant Caves of Northern Mexico

Orion Knox spent years mapping the great. I have his detailed map. It was done prior to the digital age. Many UT cavers spent hours mapping with him. And I do recall the birthday passage and the wonder of seeing it. Bustamante was my first major cave trip to Mexico. Myself, Clark Santos, and

I use old technology. Never had a GPS. My Brunton seems to work pretty well to pick out north. And I use paper maps. But then i haven't been lost or on a mapping trip in 15 years and the Texas Highway Dept map works for me. I usually know where I am going. On Tue, Mar 12, 2019 at 7:50 PM Bill

Re: [Texascavers] Your GPS Devices May Stop Working On April 6 If You Don't Or Can't Update Firmware

What about your paper map? I have yet to use a GPS or a smart telephone. I find no need for a GPS. I usually know where I am and I can read ONC charts and use a compass. Back when Ed and I crossed the Sahara in a 2CV with only ONC charts and a compass. There were no paved roads just sand an tires

Smart phones. I had a nifty Samsung something that did all manner of things. The screen was way too little for my ancient eyes. The teeny ap things were impossible for my fumble fingers. I kept pushing the wrong buttons and calling porn-hub or some such. I had two of them and tossed them in a
